Using linear function concepts, it is found that a set of ordered pairs with a slope of 3 is perpendicular to the set (12,3), (9,4).

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

If two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is of -1. The set (12,3), (9,4) has the slope given by:

m = (4 - 3)/(9 - 12) = -1/3.

Hence, for the perpendicular set:

[tex]-\frac{1}{3}m = -1[/tex]

m = 3.
